Pedro Sánchez llama a la movilización en un mitin convertido en una declaración de amor a su mujer

President Pedro Sánchez addressed a rally at the Tom�s y Valiente cultural center in Fuenlabrada, Madrid, on Saturday, where he called on Spanish socialists to mobilize for the upcoming general elections. Sánchez, who has been officially named the PSOE's candidate for the 29th of November, told his supporters, "I love you," as he addressed the crowd of around 3,000 party members. The rally, which began as an unusual meeting, aimed to showcase unity and enthusiasm among the party members.

Sánchez praised the decision to present joint lists with the Front for Spain (Frente Amplio) for the Senate, which helped mitigate the impact of the resignation of the party's spokesperson, Montse Múnguez, due to criticism of her partner's real estate investments. The Socialist Executive quickly agreed to make Rebeca Torrón the spokesperson for organization, smoothing over the resignation controversy.

In an unprecedented move, the Socialist party will have more women than men heading the lists for the Congress of Deputies (52%), and in the Senate, they aim to increase parity by ten points compared to 2023, with 444 women and 443 men in the coalition's lists for the Cortes Generales. The party leadership made minor changes to the candidate selections in Burgos, Palencia, Guadalajara, Albacete, and Badajoz, but the reactions in the regions were less intense than in 2023.

The president of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, made his first public appearance since being unanimously elected as the party's candidate. He brought his wife, Begoña Gómez, to the auditorium, where she embraced him and shared a kiss in front of cameras and chanters from the enthusiastic crowd. The President emphasized the strength and unity of the party, urging his supporters to vote and win the upcoming elections.
